Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud
If you want your wife to listen to you, then talk to another woman she will be all ears.
Sigmund Freud
A strong experience in the present awakens in the creative writer a memory of an earlier experience (usually belonging to his childhood) from which there now proceeds a wish which finds its fulfilment in the creative work.
Sigmund Freud
The essence of analysis is surprise. When people are themselves surprised by what they say, that's when they are really making some progress.
Sigmund Freud
Where such men love they have no desire and where they desire they cannot love
Sigmund Freud
